oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 07/22/2023 10:00 am In 1982 the mint started to add zinc to some of one cent pieces and continue today. So these blisters or bubbles will be seen occasionally. Keep an eye out for the 1982d small date copper, that is very valuable. Report this Post to the Staff
